Wtf does that mean?
I think it means as we’ve been worst in the past we should be grateful now!

Just seen this on twitter which is why you shouldn’t believe stats as that is surely absolute bollocks:
OPTA stats confirming that was Jordan Pickford's first mistake that has led to a goal in 60 England appearances.
I like Pickford but I swear he’s made mistakes in the past for England

Are you a member of the hierarchy at our club? Because your inability to read a room and come out with some pathetic, sad statement has you well qualified to be
So you have a go at me for rightly predicting that people will call this gesture woke? Care to explain why you have a go at me and not the people disgustingly calling it woke and/or a waste of time?

Braithwaite better than Dunk

Well when…
- James Piercy community noted it
- It was said on here as being false
and
- It’s Tinnion who is a known bullshitter
Then I’d say yeah, you do check before repeating it as fact!
As far as I know, Del doesn’t post on here so not sure of the relevance. Maybe he didn’t read Piercy’s bit.
Agreed that Tinnion is either a bullshiter or stupid

Dels a great guy but repeating the Tinnion claim that’s been debunked of McKenna only winning 2 in 12 is a big credibility misstep
Is it ? Do you check every stat you are told? I think it’s fair to assume when someone in Tinnion’s position gives a stat it’s correct

Del is a lovely guy and usually very calm in his opinions. Good balance between him and Pete

I'm guessing people will rightly see it as a brilliant gesture to raise awareness of an awful illness
Unless the Sun or Farage tell them otherwise

Southgate said he thought England played well. He doesn’t seem to be someone who just says things to deflect so I can only conclude that he believes that. It’s a worry if that’s the case

I've got to say that with one being a current club employee and the other being a former club employee, I struggled to take anything they said seriously.
I think Latham is very much stuck in the past with regards to football and his defence of Lansdown his former boss did him no favours.
Honor wasn’t towing the party line. He said he didn’t know if Manning has it in him to succeed and he said the board should stop insulting fans by selling us the dream that is never going to be realised. I think it’s harsh to say because he is on Robins TV that he doesn’t make points that warrant being taken seriously

I can’t be arsed to calculate the average, but to the eye, I’d suggest the minutes out of an available 990 (1170 v Forest) has stayed relatively the same:
Green - GK start (basically Max O’Leary!!!)
Red - outfield starter
Orange - outfield sub
Grey - unused sub
(mins played along the bottom)
When the original article was published after 16 league games, the percentage was 33.1% so won’t have changed much.
basically we need a couple more Haydon Roberts (free and young!), show PL academy players that they can get their chance here, rather than being a loan-pawn.
Thanks. I felt it was similar as Manning hasn’t really dropped any academy player that was playing a lot under Pearson.

I guess it depends whether you consider a player who doesn't make it at our level or with us but goes on to have a decent league career (Morell for example, or dare I say Wes Burns...) or not.
With the Scott/Semenyo group we didn't get from 8 years old or whatever I think it's a balance. We still signed them (many others will have looked and passed on them) and developed them for a few years. They're not an A+ for the academy, but they deserve some kind of score surely?
If another team took them after we passed up we'd be saying why don't we have those contacts, why aren't we scouting and finding those players etc... We can't have it both ways.
All fair points and agree with them.

Ironically this is much lower than it would have been had Pearson remained in situ.
Of the 38 Championship games Bristol City have played this season, almost 30% of the minutes have been played by homegrown players.
What do you think it would have been? Any idea what it was when he left ?

Still think it's dubious to credit the academy with Semenyo, Scott and Pring. All were in it for a short time but they're hardly academy "produced".
Completely agree. Who has actually came through the academy and either played a lot of games or been sold for good money?
O’Leary
Kelly
Bryan
Reid
Vyner
Cant think of anyone else. Is 5 a good return over the period of Tinnion’s involvement? Hard to say

But how many minutes has he actually played!?
Not many as dropping Vyner or Dickie would be bizarre

The academy is credited with Alex Scott in that piece which we all know isn’t valid. Good to hear the work going into Knight-Lebel.

I don't think even those two pillocks care about how this minor feature on a football shirt looks. They made a fuss about it because they - and some of their short-sighted disciples - assumed the colours were chosen as some sort of homage to LGBTQ+ people.
They now look stupid as it's been made clear why those particular colours were chosen, but it's embedded in the mindset of the kneejerk culture war frothers that they have to double down on everything and can never admit they've made a mistake - even when they obviously have.
They say they are angry it happened when in fact they are glad as it’s a chance for them to be fake angry again
5 minutes ago, Gert Mare said:Just out of interest, who would buy a City home club shirt if the club decided it was going to be ‘Blue and White Quarters’ for a change?
Whataboutery again. The flag hasn’t been changed to the Welsh flag so this comparison is stupid

Farage and Barton haven’t told people to be offended about other defaced flags yet so people are maybe waiting for that first
